    Oracle Customer Success

    Tech-Trans Telecom (China) Ltd. accelerates time-to-market by 80% with Oracle

    Summary

    Tech-Trans cuts total cost of ownership by 40%, shortens sales cycle, and supports expansion with MySQL Enterprise Edition.

    Tech-Trans Telecom (China) Ltd. (Tech-Trans) offers comprehensive and effective total solutions, including system integration and infrastructure design, to customers via partnerships with various global IT leaders, such as Oracle, IBM, and HPE. Its point-of-sale (POS) solution has approximately 50% market share in the Asia Pacific region’s retail industry, is included in the top 10 retail brands in Hong Kong, and has presence in 45% of large-scale shopping malls in China.

    With rapid growth in online payment, customer relationship management (CRM), royalty, and membership modules, Tech-Trans wanted to ensure that the database for its online-to-offline (O2O) POS solution is scalable and enables its customers to expand globally. To meet this goal, the company moved to MySQL Enterprise Edition to improve the availability and scalability of system performance while reducing costs.

    Why Tech-Trans Telecom (China) Ltd. Chose Oracle

    “We were already using Oracle Database for over 10 years, so the migration to MySQL Enterprise Edition was easier and more cost effective than migrating to other databases. Oracle’s continuous development of the MySQL database and support services was also critical to our decision.”
    —Ricky Liu, Director, Tech-Trans Telecom (China) Ltd.
